Angelina was in Moscow for the Russian premiere of the movie Salt on Sunday, just a few weeks after 10 Russian sleeper agents were expelled from the US in exchange for four Russians accused of spying for the West.

She said at the Oktyabrskaya theatre: "You don't want to focus on the negative behind this issue of the spy swap because I think that what is happening between our countries is wonderful these days, so many positive movements forward."

Fans waited hours in temperatures of 35C outside the theatre to get a glimpse of the star, who wore a scarlet gown with deep cleavage.
